15 Problems Only People Who Can't Drive Understand

10. Accidentally Getting Into A Road/Car Related Conversation With A Delivery Man

Workmen and engineers are an intimidating breed; all knowledgable and useful while you struggle to get the lid off things, and interacting with them can be a horribly anxious affair. The same goes for delivery drivers, who thankfully it's easier to stay removed from, thanks to the brevity of your relationships with them, but then occasionally, one will talk about the condition of the roads, mentioning bottle-necking at Junction 45, or a rattle on their radiator as if everyone is aware of the strange language they're using. Your eyes invariably glass over as you nod or tut at the bits where you think you're supposed to, hoping in vein that he'll mention the bits of the engine you actually know - like the flux capacitor - or just hurry up and leave you alone.

9. The All-Encompassing, Unjust Road Rage

If you can't drive, you're scientifically not allowed to get road rage. It makes absolutely no sense. But somebody should probably tell that to the bit of your brain that controls the unfeasible, over-blown fury, because there's no accounting for and no stopping it when someone does something that you're only vaguely aware is wrong. Sitting there, purple-faced, sticking your fingers up at a driver who has actual qualifications to back up what they're doing on the roads, you have to accept the sorry fact that you look ridiculous questioning both their driving skill and the size of geographical position of their genitalia.
